Essay on Stone with Brush and Scraper

Adolph von Menzel

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a sculpture. A nude woman on the right side holds a large knife-like object. On the left side, emerging from the base of the sculpture, is the upper body of a man with pointed ears and leaf-like structures on his head. The background shading behind the sculpture is dark gray, with the rest of the image gradually getting lighter. Several metal tools curve across top of the image. Text is written in a foreign language.
